OVERVIEW

After seeing the incredible short Blow Out Sale (by Timothy Kendall, Chris Marrs & Danny Pudi) for the Interpretations Film Contest, we were inspired to create an action film based on some of our favorite action films and video games growing up. Re-living and acting out our favorite action scenes was more fun than you can imagine!

    Awesomesauce! I need to settle something for meh. What is the last weapon. My brother says weapon from district 9. I say from half-life.

  • The gun was based off the District 9 Tesla Rifle, so unfortunately I think your brother wins the cake here 🙂
